They were accused of operating unlicensed slaughterhouses, according to reports.<\/p>\n<p>Animal rights activists had protested the act in the days before the closure orders.<\/p>\n<p>Kapparot involves swinging a live chicken over one&#8217;s head three times and reciting a prayer to cast sins to the bird.
